Weddings...

Planning a wedding?

My friend Yang is planning her wedding... She's getting married this year. I remember how events like this is such an exciting, overwhelming and God knows, tiring...

Things we (me and labsy - don) needs to prepare. From church setups to the reception, to the give-aways and gowns...

And of course, the much saved and maybe loaned $$$$$ for the one-big-awaited-day. Everything should be paid for... Whew! thank God we've got some hand and some sponsors...

Here are few things to consider...
  • Paper works - The Church would require some documents from the couple. Baptismal, Confirmation, Parish clearance and of course the marriage license among others. But then before you can request for your license, you need to get your CeNoMar (Certificate of No Marriage) from NSO (National Statistics Office)... Gosh! we need to fall in line... I can imagine... But thanks to my friend Evelyn, she took care of the CeNoMar... then we (me & don) took care of the rest...
  • Fashion Talks - The gowns, barongs, etc... Well, one of my best college buddies named Janeth, offered her 1 maid of honor, 2 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls gowns. And so, our only problem then was to look for something who will look good on them. And then she even offered her wedding shoes (my something borrowed, am lucky, they fit...). Well, we had 6 flower girls plus cute couple for the little bride and groom, then 3 more little guys for the bearer, all gowns and barongs were sponsored by their parents (thanks to ates and kuyas - don's brothers and their wives). Further, my brothers barongs are taken cared by my parents. See how good it went??? :D
  • Venues
    • Church - needs flowers, singers, readers, offerers, the sponsors, the secondary sponsors, your main entourage... whew!.. and don't forget the accessories, special symbols and bonds, the veil, the aray, the bible and the rings... (make sure someone reliable is holding the rings before the priest bless them. In some churches, a crasher takes a couples rings away... watch it!)
    • Reception - THE FOOD!!! It matters, the arrangement of the flowers, the table, the wine (for the parade...), the program, the cake, the wedding car, the video coverage, and of course, the room...
See, these are just few of the things to worry about... But all things will just fall into place... Request few friends to be harrassed on that event and be a free spirit... If something goes wrong, don't worry, everyone will forgive you, because IT IS YOUR DAY... so HAVE FUN and HAVE A GRAND DAY!

Good luck!!!

And most of all, pray that your partner appears on that special day, while walking down the isle (bride) or waiting at the altar (groom)... Just focus on your partner, look to his/her eyes and feel the beauty of love...

Tarp designs...

Image
Yumi the Snow White - by me Last Saturday, Feb. 12, my niece was celebrating her birthday in advance. Her dad, my brother, is leaving for his work before her birthday, Feb 22, so they celebrated it ahead. My sis-in-law, requested me to take care of the tarp, and I said why not. It will be my gift to Yumi. Fairy barbie Yumi - by Kuya Jer Friday came with the tarp in mind that it will be a Barbie themed, I did not have a design in mind yet. My officemate and dear friend Kuya Jerry is not that busy, so I asked him if maybe he could make one for me. But then he's making one for another friend, so I thought, if he could finish one with a barbie/princess style, that's good, but I'll make one something on a modern rock-in-roll kind, so my niece will have a choice. I sort of don't exactly know what would she really like. Yumi rocks!!! - by me Kuya Jerry finished one and I did one too. So I went home and showed it to my bro and sis-in-law. They're both cute but ...

2013: Laoag - Pagudpud - Vigan - Sagada - Banaue Escapade in 1 (one)Week

Day 1: Wednesday, Sep. 11, 2013 (Hello Laoag!) Paoay Church Our flight from Davao departed at 10:05 AM, Labsy and I were glad we had this schedule. Perfect enough that we don't need to be too early in the airport, we can still enjoy breakfast and just in time for lunch when we reach Manila. We stayed in the airport since we had another flight to Laoag at 7:05 PM and grab the chance to find some electrical outlets to charge our phones. Our first day was spent mostly at the airport and since we won't be staying long in Laoag, I opted to look for a cheaper place to stay. I thought since we will arrive way past 8PM and will leave early the next morning to start the site seeing, a so-so place would be OK. But NO, it wasn't! Our ride to town But, before reaching to that "never-again" place for overnight. Our ride from Laoag Airport to town was free! Yes, free. The Laoag Airport has a free shuttle, using an electric powered multicab (small jeep) for the tou...

My First Dive (Samal Island)

Image
I have been intrigued by scuba diving for a long time but didn't have an open door to make a step towards it. I've always been a fan of the world under and fascinated w/ the whole new universe that sea creatures are having. But, as they say, anything is possible! A day to visit the world under "UP CLOSE & PERSONAL" happened for real! Orientation by Sir Ivan I expected to have a better diving chance on our future travel to Coron, Palawan. But what do you know??? Ma'am Beth, the owner of the boarding house where my father and brothers used to stay while in Manila, visited Davao and stayed in our humble home for a few days. Who happens to be an avid fan of scuba diving and wanted to experience diving in Samal Island to add to her list. Well, as expected, mom won't join us since she's afraid of activities like that. So, despite our persistent request to Mom and Papo to join, but failed, still with all excitement, Labsy & I, coordinated w/ a few d...
